Ubuntu 5.04 Hoary Hedgehog Review (Forever Geek) [LWN.net]

Forever Geek reviews Ubuntu's Hoary Hedgehog. "Overall, Ubuntu: Hoary Hedgehog is a rock solid distro, and is a great choice for a user with any level of Linux experience (it's also a great distro for beginners or people completely new to Linux.) The install process and initial system use should be fairly straightforward for beginners, and Ubuntu has very decent hardware detection. In fact, the only major complaint I have about Ubuntu is the release name (I mean, come ON, "Hoary Hedgehog?") Ubuntu may or may not be as great a distro for advanced users, as it is slightly less customizable than, say, Gentoo (you don't get to compile your own kernel, etc.) However, Ubuntu isn't meant to be highly customizable. It is meant to install and work simply, elegantly, and well. It definitely achieves this goal, and I give it two thumbs up."
